Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
My work as a therapist begins with creating a space that feels genuinely safe, private, and respectful — a place where you don’t have to censor yourself or worry about being judged. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting, collaborative relationship, because feeling understood and accepted is often a powerful catalyst for meaningful change in itself.
I aim to meet clients exactly where they are, taking time to understand their unique experiences while supporting them in moving toward the changes they want to make in their lives. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on how shifts in thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors can lead to meaningful changes in emotional well-being.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. My professional background and personal interests have shaped my focus on working with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, career and life transitions, existential questions, and a general sense of feeling stuck or dissatisfied.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and offer secular therapy, welcoming clients who prefer an approach grounded in psychology rather than religious or spiritual frameworks. I provide HIPAA-compliant video therapy and am often able to help clients get started without a long wait. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Kristen W. Green
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
I am a Board Certified Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychologist. I specializing in therapy and psychological testing. I work successfully with: developmental delays, behavioral problems, mood disorders, ADHD, adjustment issues (divorce, death, illness, general stress), anxiety/OCD, and autism spectrum conditions. I tend toward a cognitive-behavioral approach in a developmental framework. I also utilize biofeedback, mindfulness, DBT, and psychodynamic techniques. I work closely with parents/families as needed. My clients are most successful in therapy when their parents/families are committed to being involved and support the therapeutic process. I approach my work with the goal of fully understanding each client and their unique circumstances.

Alex Stachowski
Counselor/Therapist, APC, NCC, MA
You may look like you have everything together on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of yourself. Maybe your mind never seems to slow down. You’re struggling to feel understood, questioning your relationships or direction in life, or simply tired of pushing through instead of genuinely enjoying the life you’re living.
I work with teens, young adults, and couples who want more than a quick fix. My approach combines practical tools for navigating the challenges you’re facing today with deeper exploration of the patterns, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck.
My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative, but I also believe compassion and gentle challenge can exist together. I won’t simply sit back and agree with everything you say. Together, we’ll approach your experiences with curiosity and compassion while honestly exploring whether your current patterns and choices are moving you toward—or away from—the life and relationships you want.
At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change is not about eliminating every difficult thought or emotion. It’s about better understanding yourself, strengthening your relationships, and learning to move toward what matters most, even when life feels uncertain or difficult.
Whether you’re a teen struggling to feel understood, a young adult navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, or life direction, or a couple longing to reconnect, you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change.

Kathy Giles
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, MA
I believe people are unique, complex, and deeply impacted by their early relationships and experiences. Therefore, I desire to connect and journey with people as they pursue healing and wholeness in their lives through processing their past and coming to understand how it shows up in the present. I believe that the therapeutic process is collaborative and relational, and thus, the most impactful part of therapy is the bond created between the client and myself. If you would like someone to come alongside you as you process through your relationships and experiences, I would be honored to help you.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.
